Ireland - Irish Wolfhounds ("Wolfhounds")
Italy - Italia Emergenti
Japan - Junior Japan
New Zealand - Junior All Blacks
Romania - Bucharest Wolves

Scotland - Scotland 'A'
South Africa - South Africa U20
Tonga - Tonga 'A'
USA - USA Select
Wales - Wales U20

Found this on the world rugby website, hadn't seen this about before.

So to still be illegible under 3 year rule you cannot have represented any of these teams against any of the other teams listed.

Am I right?

Yes you are

No I'm not..... had forgotten about representing a country at international 7s level

What confuses me is Jaguars and Bucharest Wolves being nominated representative teams

No, Wolfhounds defunct

Ireland - Leinster

Yes, but there are other things that will tie you too. Playing for an A team against a test team, or as part of a designated tour. 7s as you say ...

Also remember that the list changes. I think there is an older version available on the IRB site too.

I believe the Jaguars and the Jaguares may be different sides

Jaguars just a fancy name for Argentina A...not the S18 side.

The 20s one is a minefield, whether both sides are using the 20s as their 2nd side etc.

Jaguars are 2 different teams in the different context. Same as the wolfhounds to a degree.

Wolfhounds have no matches this year. For the last 5 years they've played Saxons and that's been it.

Think of all the wolfhounds caps Roger Wilson has been denied.

So from a protectionism point of view the IRFU will of course enlisted our U20 as our 2nd team

Leinster U20s should suffice

From a protectionism point of view it makes more sense for any country to nominate an underage team. Way more players get U20 caps than even if the As played a full fixture list. Considering the As would also contain all the fringe Ulster guys who were already capped against East Timor anyway.

It depends how many other sides are doing it. Personally, I'd like to see a clause which excludes U20 caps which occur in defined U20 competitions.

No. It means it's written in invisible ink.
